VMware for ESXi: Planning, Implementation, and Security

by Dave Mishchenko

Overview

VMware ESXi is the easiest way to get started with virtualization-and it's free. It allows users to consolidate their applications onto fewer servers and start saving money through reduced hardware, power, cooling and administration costs. VMware ESXi has been optimized and tested to run even your most resource intensive applications and databases with minimal performance overhead. VMware for ESXi Server: Planning, Implementation, and Security covers the key features critical to successfully planning for and implementing VMWare's ESXi. The book is perfect for those getting started with virtualization as well as current VMware VI3 and vSphere administrators who may be considering a switch to vSphere ESXi.
